Scattering and binding of different atomic species in a one-dimensional optical lattice

Other Condensed Matter 2009-11-13 v2

Abstract

The theory of scattering of atom pairs in a periodic potential is presented for the case of different atoms. When the scattering dynamics is restricted to the lowest Bloch band of the periodic potential, a separation in relative and average discrete coordinates applies and makes the problem analytically tractable, and we present a number of new results and features compared to the case of identical atoms.
